Yea! Good to know another is on it's way to you!
It still is surprising that one of these failed like that,
and the first report that I have ever heard of.
KAS
In more than two decades experience with high reliability designs, the only part of electronic circuits that kept failing totally at random and notwithstanding inconsiderate levels of quality control placed upon it, is the clock oscillator of any design: a quartz crystal and two small capacitors. A component - the crystal - built today as it was 70 years ago.
Knowing the level of QC of Dicodes device, I'm ready to place a bet that the problem is caused by the only component that can fail in a rare, but unforeseeable manner.
The difference in the quality of the vape produced, between a Pico and a Dani, is very noticeable.
Enjoy finally your new Dani!
oops.. my finger hit buy... Now to tell the DH what he got me. I might forget to mention the $$ (I'm the one who pays the bills).
I like the blue too

Not read much of thread.
But have a question, has anyone had bad experiences with this brand ?
I have a dani box and a v2 extreme.
The v2 has failed twice within 3 years.
Now my dani box is causing me concern after leaving it overnight and waking up to dead batteries 0.6v!! so truly in bin dead. never switch off over night and vever had problem since i purchased it until now.
i only vape at 8.5 watt with kfl atty, but run time seems far less that the early days.
i thought this was a battery issue as the cells varied from 3-5 years old.
so i got myself a pair of new cells same again for a new cell overnight left it at 50 percent in the morning cell at 0.6v. more bin fodder.
I love tactile qualities of these boxes so can just sit holing onto it, being aluminium and a warn evening it did get warm. thought nothing of it until today.
Thinking gosh this thing is warm I left it to cool,after 30 mins still warm. hottest around the docking porthole.
Hmm so I removed the base plate and checked , nothing obvious but i had never been happy with the proximity
of the base plate the charging anode contact.
close inspection [needed to stack reading glasses here] revealed the pcb foil used as a contact wrapped fractionally over the pcb base standoffs leaving a possibility of a short. [especially with conductive debris entering the hole]
I file back the pcb over the stand offs and reassembled.
funny thing is i do remember being a bit suspicous of thse exposed close proximity contacts back when i got the thing and test by shorting with a piece of metal, result was a definite spark.
I repeated the test today same result, so fumbling with a meter I got readings between 250ma to 1amp!.
whether this was the cause of my issues not sure but there was debris in there and this risk of foil to base contact.
I always thought this port was poorly designed and i am now convinced it is. { will plug mine with silcone at some point, tape for now}
Shame I love these products
To conclude If the mini also has this feature too pay careful attention to it, cover or plug if not needed.

@classwife its Friday! Did your replacement Dani come yet?
So...yea - my replacement Dani Mini arrived at 7:45 this morning.
I was a bit worried in that the box had been opened and re-taped up for inspection - but the tissue around the tin box was not disturbed. (shew !)
So. I have my beautiful replacement.
They hand wrote a card apologizing and thanking me for my patience.
They let me know it had been triple tested !
And yep, this is a first time problem.
Whether by intent or by fluke, the mod was set at where I had the one I sent in set - nice !
I am one happy camper - and this ended up being a very pleasant experience.
